Processes and pathways related to alveolar-capillary barrier function in atelectasis. Functional analysis of proteomics data showed the negative enrichment for processes or pathways related to alveolar-capillary barrier function in LPS(−) and LPS(+) conditions. Without LPS, atelectasis was associated with negatively enriched epithelial and endothelial processes, as well as Hippo signaling pathway. With LPS, the negatively enriched processes in atelectasis were involved in cell adhesion and junction. ECM organization and TGF-β signaling were negatively enriched in LPS-exposed and unexposed atelectasis. LPS lipopolysaccharide, ECM extracellular matrix, TGF transforming growth factor.
